Well I doubt seriously that the client knows or cares how it gets redirected. They can see the url and the small lock icon in the bottom right corner and know it's a secure URL.
I can think of a couple reasons why a client wouldnt want it secured but the first one that comes to mind is hosting cost. Many people charge more for SSL hosting (some even by the number of secure pages). If that is the case, I'm sure they want it done. For all we know, they saw their home page as a secure url and think that is how it is always going to be. There are also personal browser settings that control the way SSL pages are viewed such as the SSL versions. It's a terrible spot to play your "we know best" card with a client since it can be remedied... but that's just my take. -----Original Message----- From: Tony [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2005 7:43 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Odd SSL problem rey. this is a perfect spot for client intervention. there is nothing wrong with your cflocation doing a fully qualified url that is ssl enabled (https://www.) rather than (http://) since it doesnt hurt, in any way shape or form, it shouldnt even be a choice that they have to make. i cannot see ANY way to prevent that, unless maybe you set the settings on IE back to allow ANY traffic in any way, and that would be dumb and unsecure... this is just dumb. sorry dude. are they this savvy of a client that they pay attention to whether or not your cflocation tags go to https urls vs. http urls? tw On 8/30/05, Bobby Hartsfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hmm.
